    That should work pretty well, but more protein could help. Protein will make you feel full longer and preserve muscle mass. The latter is especially important as you get older.

    I'd go with more protein as wabmester suggests. I eat more protein than that and I'm a young female.

    I'm set at 1800 cal, 5% or 23 carb, 70% or 140 fat & 25% or 113 pro. 1/2 hour light exercise most days.
    I'm 5 ft 7 in & 282 lbs. I'm almost 62. I've been losing 2 to 3 lbs weekly.
    My diabetes is in pretty good control, you're welcome to check out
